>> Session name :    How DNS Abuse Mitigation Impacts Civil Society and End
>> Users
>>
>> Description:
>>
>> DNS abuse mitigation has become an increasingly important part of
>> maintaining a secure and trustworthy Internet. Registries, registrars, and
>> other stakeholders are expected to respond promptly to threats such as
>> phishing, malware, and botnets. However, these efforts can unintentionally
>> affect legitimate domain name holders, especially civil society
>> organizations and individual end users.
>>
>> Domain suspensions and takedowns are sometimes implemented with limited
>> transparency, unclear procedures, or inadequate opportunities for
>> registrants to seek review. The growing use of automated detection tools
>> and third-party reporting has caused concerns about accuracy,
>> accountability, and the impact on lawful online activities. These issues
>> are often more acute in developing countries, where registrants may have
>> limited access to legal remedies, face language barriers, and lack
>> resources to navigate complex processes. Similar concerns are also emerging
>> in developed regions.
>>
>> The session will look at the way civil society organisations and end
>> users experience DNS abuse mitigation policies in various regions, with
>> representatives from civil society, the technical community, the parties
>> that have been contracted, and the internet governance community providing
>> practical experiences, pointing out the gaps in transparency and due
>> process, and debating how to put into practice effective abuse mitigation
>> that respects fundamental rights.
>>
>> The session, by concentrating on real-world experiences, seeks to promote
>> a well-balanced discussion concerning the strengthening of responses to DNS
>> abuse while at the same time preserving freedom of expression, just access
>> to domain names, and trust in the Internet ecosystem; it will also point
>> out opportunities for developing more transparent, accountable and
>> rights-respecting approaches which support both Internet security and end
>> users.
>>
>>
>> Policy Questions
>>
>> A- How can DNS abuse mitigation frameworks effectively address security
>> threats while ensuring transparency, due process, and accountability for
>> civil society organizations and end users?
>>
>> B- What safeguards and best practices are needed to reduce unintended
>> harm from DNS abuse enforcement, particularly when automated detection
>> systems and third-party reporting mechanisms are used?
>>
>> C- How can the Internet governance community ensure that DNS abuse
>> mitigation policies are implemented consistently across different regions
>> while taking into account local challenges, capacity constraints, and the
>> protection of fundamental rights?
